You’re a best-selling author. Your beloved sci-fi novel that’s
been a fan favorite for decades is about to come to the silver screen. You can
expect more fame, adulation, money, right? Wait just a second! You dared to
speak out against gay marriage? Welcome to the new blacklist.

Orson Scott Card, author of the popular sci-fi fantasy
“Ender’s Game,” which was just made into a film set to release this fall, is
coming under fire from the left for his pro-traditional-marriage views.
According to Huffington
Post, an “online protest” broke out to blacklist the new movie based on
Card’s book because of his conservative views and opposition to the gay agenda.
As HuffPo reported, LGBT activists are taking aim at Card for his
“controversial” “anti-gay stance.”

The LGBT group Geeks OUT is spearheading a boycott of the
movie called “Skip Ender’s Game.” According to the official website the group
wants to “send a clear and serious message to Card” because of his “anti-gay
activism – whatever he’s selling, we’re not buying.”

"Do not buy a ticket at the theater,” urged the Geeks
OUT group, “do not purchase the DVD, do not watch it on-demand. Ignore all
merchandise and toys." The site went on to insist that the “queer geek
community” wants to keep its money away from Card because of his supposed
“fear-mongering and religious bullying.”

Card previously ruffled
liberal feathers because of his uncompromising stance on gay marriage, and
this is certainly not
the first time he’s come under fire for it. But despite backlash, Card
remained a steadfast supporter of traditional marriage. He joined the board of
directors of the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) in 2009 and
frequently wrote articles opposing homosexual “marriage.” In response to the
boycott, Card suggested that he’s interested to see whether “proponents of gay
marriage will show tolerance toward those who disagreed with them.”
